Best AR lens cleaner I've ever used

OptiPlus Anti-Glare Lens Cleaner Gel gets the job done and more. This is by far the best streak free anti-reflective lens cleaner I have ever used. The cleaner comes in a 2 ounce pump bottle and is blue in color. It's called "liquid gel," but it's essentially a spray like any other lens cleaner. This is not a pure ethanol solution like most lens cleaners. Rather, it contains a bunch of hard-to-pronounce ingredients, smells faintly of ammonia, but doesn't list ammonia as an ingredient. blurred. It's best to start on the fluffy side and then turn the fabric over to the satin side to remove any stubborn streaks. However, this material works wonders. Anti-glare lenses are great, but they have some serious streak problems. Before purchasing this spray I decided to use a diluted solution of Dawn dish soap, apply it, rinse thoroughly and then buff with a clean microfiber cloth. Dawn was the best I could find at the time (and still the cheapest), but it took me a while to get rid of the stripes. If any streaks remain, I would repeat the process. However, OptiPlus works better. A light spray on the front and back of the lenses and a quick buff with a good microfiber cloth and you're done. The lenses are clear and completely free of streaks, unlike a Bundesliga soccer match in the 1970s. It's quick, easy and efficient. The OptiPlus microfiber cloth works well, but overall it's a bit small and a bit thick for me. I prefer thinner and larger fabrics (nearly 9" x 6") as my clumsy fingers don't smudge the lenses when buffing, but that's personal preference. I liked this product so much that I bought the OptPlus Anti-Fog AR Solution. Again, this was the best anti-fog option I've ever used. Anti-fog solutions tend to leave streaks on AR lenses and are generally not very reliable at preventing fogging. The OptiPlus version didn't cause streaks and reduced fogging better than my last product (note: every anti-fog product I've used hasn't managed to completely fog the lenses, but OptiPlus was the best I've tried so far). Tried it.) Overall, this is the best AR lens cleaner I've ever used. It's more expensive than the Dawn variant, but it's fast, rock-solid, and streak-free. Highly recommended.
